The threats in Iran: The Counter-Terrorism Headquarters issued a travel warning for the United Arab Emirates this evening (Sunday), amid Israeli fears of an Iranian response to the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the 'father of the Iranian nuclear program.'.
""In light of the presence and activity of terrorist organizations, there are real risks to the security of Israeli citizens visiting and staying in the United Arab Emirates," the Counterterrorism Headquarters said, recommending avoiding a visit to the country.
Channel 12 reported that security officials are preparing for the possibility that the Iranians will try to harm Israelis vacationing in the United Arab Emirates.

According to travel agencies, in December, about 50,000 Israelis booked flight tickets to the Emirates.
In Israel and in various missions around the world, alert has been raised since Friday.
Now, amid fears of attempts to harm Israelis in the Emirates, the security establishment has begun to take action to protect Israelis visiting there.
In addition, a joint mechanism was established, together with the Emirates, designed to ensure the security of Israelis vacationing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The security establishment has been preparing in recent days for a variety of possible Iranian actions: For years, the Iranian Quds Force has established terrorist cells throughout Europe, South America, and the Far East - units that can carry out attacks on Israeli embassies and against Jewish communities around the world.
